About the Author

Matthew Rever received his PhD. in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His career revolves around image processing, computer vision, and machine learning for scientific research applications. He started programming in C++, a language he still uses today, over 20 years ago, and has also used Matlab and most heavily Python in the past few years, using OpenCV, SciPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. He believes it is important to stay up to date on the latest tools to be as productive as possible. Dr. Rever is the author of Packt's Computer Vision Projects with Python 3 and Advanced Computer Vision Projects.
